Michael kneels while laying down
His useless, flaming sword
How strange to see this mighty prince
Tremble at the door
Gabriel who boldly told
The virgin not to fear
Stands silent with his trumpet
In this breathless atmosphere

The one who shook the earth
As he rolled away the stone
Shutters at the thought
Of approaching the throne
And the legion of ten thousand
That stood guard at Jesus' side
In disbelief divide their ranks
To let us walk inside

We enter in where angels fear to tread
We boldly draw near through the blood He shed
We are the ones He's asked to come
As redeemed, we've nothing to dread
We enter in where angels fear to tread

The myriad of angels here
Are clothed in precious stone
Yet the brilliance of these seraphim
Pale next to the throne
The angels know the ground
To be too holy, even for a touch
So, they take two wings and hide their feet
By covering them up
Oh, the glory makes then veil their face
With another set of wings
Still, night and day, they bow to praise
A God they've never seen
And they wonder who'd dare fill the seat
At the sovereign's side
Unless it were an heir or a child or a bride

We enter in where angels fear to tread
We boldly draw near through the blood He shed
We are the ones He's asked to come
As redeemed, we've nothing to dread
We enter in where angels fear to tread

We enter in where angels fear to tread
We boldly draw near through the blood He shed
We are the ones He's asked to come
As redeemed, we've nothing to dread
We enter in where angels fear to tread
We enter in where angels fear to tread
